Abstract
Addressing sustainable development challenges, Russia is seeking new opportunities for the use of thin-walled cold-cast structures to meet the requirements of cost-effectiveness, eco-friendliness, and rapid construction. The study aims to explore the possibilities of design and calculation of low-rise buildings erected from lightweight thin-walled steel structures using frame construction technology. The design solutions for the roof, walls, floors, and foundation are exemplified using concrete examples. The load capacity off framing studs, roof beams, and floor slabs was calculated. Three methods were used for calculation - Eurocode 3, direct strength test, and ultimate load test in compliance with AISI standards.
Highlights
The use of cold-formed structures in the frame construction is not a novel technology, neither in the world nor in Russia
In 1933, at the World Exhibition in Chicago, the “house of the future” was presented; it was made from steel frame structures
With all the obvious advantages, this technology was not been widely developed in Russia due to the lack of a regulatory framework
Summary
The use of cold-formed structures in the frame construction is not a novel technology, neither in the world nor in Russia. The first buildings of thin-walled steel structures were erected in North America and Great Britain. They possessed a number of distinctive features, includingcost-effectiveness, energy efficiency, and environmental friendliness. With all the obvious advantages, this technology was not been widely developed in Russia due to the lack of a regulatory framework. This technology isin the focus of attention of engineers, and the possibility of using thin-walled cold-formed elements in the building structures is explored [2 - 5]. We will perform the modeling of the stressstrain state of the entire building in the SCAD Office program and the modeling of the behavior of individual elements in the CUFSM program, and estimate the bearing capacity of different structural elements using methods of Eurocode 3 and AISI specifications
